Derrick Lewis secured an incredible victory when he came-from-behind to finish Alexander Volkov in the final minute of their UFC 229 clash on Saturday – and he now has a UFC heavyweight world title shot in three weeks’ time.

The American power puncher had little name value around the world before Saturday’s showdown.

And he has now been awarded a world title shot against reigning UFC heavyweight champion Dan Cormier, but the catch is that the fight will take place on November 3, at the UFC 230 event that takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York. This leaves Lewis with less than a month to prepare for the biggest fight of his life.
